3-Day Desert Tour from Agadir to Aït Benhaddou and Erg Chigaga

• Meet your tour guide in Agadir and depart early in the morning for the Erg Chegaga Desert, passing through the city of Taroudant.
• Continue to Taliouine, known as the town of saffron production. After a few hours' drive, reach Taznakht for a lunch break.
• Drive across the gravel desert via Foum Zguid. This private desert trip leads across Lac Iriki, a dried-out lake in a solitary desert landscape glistening white in the sunshine, before reaching the immense dunes of Erg Chigaga. There are still nomads living here with herds of camels. Enjoy the rough beauty and endless vastness of the desert, and experience the constant change of light as the sun turns this archaic countryside into a bizarre dream landscape. End the day with a picturesque sunset from the back of a camel.

Dinner and overnight in a nomad tent.

• Have breakfast and see the best sunrise over the Erg Chigaga dunes.
• Depart for Ouarzazate via Mhamid, and along the way visit Tamgrout, including the old library and ceramic cooperatives.
• Take a short break at the panoramic viewpoint over the Draa Oasis and its palm trees. Then continue the tour to Aït Ben Haddou via Aït Saouen and Ouarzazate.

Overnight in a kasbah at Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Morocco's best-preserved and most spectacular kasbahs.

• Have breakfast and admire the views of the valley and the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site, where films such as Lawrence of Arabia, Jesus of Nazareth, and more recently, Gladiator were filmed. Aït Benhaddou was once a significant stop for traders carrying gold, salt, and slaves along the famous Southern Caravan Route through the Sahara.
• Drive back to Agadir.
